How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and helping with anger by shifting focus to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches specific skills to change thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will collaborate to choose or blend methods that fit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they will try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so sessions feel useful and realistic.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or a calmer audio-only check-in is preferred. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone needs flexible, written exchanges. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or different time zones while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
